Cognac?
If you don't mind the flavor then sure. Vodka or grain alcohol are ideal since they don't impart flavor.- eugenepark

Kaywoodie Mini Drinkless - Any Insights?
There's no such thing as "too small"! Japanese Kiseru pipes probably only hold a half pinch of tobacco lol.- eugenepark

Sniffing Tobacco?
The idea of snuff has always been intriguing to me, but I've got too many allergy/sinus issues to be putting stuff up there. How do you not sneeze from doing it?- eugenepark

PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End
The earlier suggestions that you rebrand your business as for marijuana probably have some merit. Tobacco has been demonized to the point where we are today, but for whatever reason marijuana is seen as the savior of humanity.- eugenepark

It doesn't hurt when you inhale? My understanding has always been that cigarette tobacco is modified to be inhalable, while pipe tobacco is not.- eugenepark

Cigar Beetles?
Have any of you regular cigar smokers had to deal with these? I've been a cyclical cigar smoker for probably 12+ years now and can't ever recall seeing one of my sticks ruined by bug holes. I've bought from all over, stored the cigars in cedar humidors, tupperdors, plastic bags, various temp...- eugenepark

Plants Used To Be Built In USA
Yes this. It's always interesting talking to foreigners about the cost of everyday items, as import duties in other countries are often very severe. Some examples I can remember: In South America, video game consoles (Playstation, XBox) are around $200-$300 higher than we pay in the US. In...- eugenepark

Brands to Avoid?
Earlier this year (pre rona) I was in Jamaica and picked up some real cuban Cohibas for $18USD ea (had a resort credit to spend.. wouldn't have bought with my own money). Did they smoke well? Yes Were they any different than most other cigars? Nope Since then I've pretty much been going with...- eugenepark
